Huckleberry Sport, a global talent search firm for the sports industry, have partnered with Play It Green to make their workforce climate positive, repair the planet, and drive sustainability within their business.
Through the partnership, Huckleberry Sport will now be provided with the weekly tips and tools to lower their carbon footprint and accelerate their journey to net-zero, while also making an immediate environmental and social impact through the trees they plant.
Enough trees are planted every month to more than rebalance the carbon footprint of their staff’s personal lives and all their work-related travel. This helps lift vulnerable people out of poverty, as they are employed not only to plant but to care for the trees as they grow in developing areas of the world.
The Founder of Huckleberry Sport, Janine Mostyn, said on the partnership:
“In today’s world, businesses have a responsibility to do their part in the fight against climate change. Play it Green’s Climate Positive Workforce programme allows us to lower our carbon footprint while planting trees to repair the planet and supporting our chosen charity.”
“The additional resources offered by Play it Green and their partners will also help steer the business toward a much more sustainable future. We couldn’t be more excited to be working with them and are looking forward to what the future holds.”
Chris Thair, CEO and Co-Founder of Play it Green, added:
“We’re delighted to be working with Huckleberry Sport, an organisation that aligns to our values of integrity, openness and togetherness. Founder Janine has already shared some eco products with us and we’ve in turn told our members. We share the same passions and together we’ll ensure more people and businesses become part of the climate solution.
As part of the new partnership with Play it Green, the management team and workforce will receive a weekly sustainability tip and related discount on a product to help drive behaviour change, enhance the culture, and lower their carbon footprint.
The weekly correspondence includes sustainability articles to ensure members not only become more climate aware but more aware of the solutions available to make progress in this area.
Through Play it Green’s unique three-step solution to climate change, Reduce, Repair, Regive, a tenth of all revenues also go to a good cause of the member’s choice. Huckleberry has chosen to support Shelter, helping end homelessness and inadequate housing across the UK.
Huckleberry Sport will review the nine key programme areas in Play it Green’s Net Zero Framework, free to access for all of our business members to help them drive down their footprint even further.
All the trees are guaranteed to be planted and can be tracked by the public through the Huckleberry Sport Ltd Forest Garden.
